The competent authority may send personnel bearing documents verifying their implementation of relevant duties or markings sufficient to provide identification to enter public or private premises, and examine the handling of toxic chemical substances, chemical substances of very concern, and other chemical substances that must be registered, relevant goods or premises, or order the provision of relevant information. Such personnel may order the provision of stocking, production, sales, and inventory documents, account books, relevant statements, and other production/marketing or import/export data needed to audit said substance flows. When necessary, such personnel may request the presentation of receipts, take samples of relevant chemical substances or goods, implement inspection, and provisionally seal the premises, which shall be left under the safekeeping of the statutory responsible person.
Any samples taken as specified in Paragraph 1 shall be promptly tested, and an environmental analysis and testing organization that has received a permit from the central competent authority may be conditioned to perform testing. The time needed for the testing of samples may not exceed one month. However, this restriction shall not apply after the central competent authority's approval has been obtained.
The environmental analysis and testing organization in Paragraph 1 may conduct only those test types specified in its permit.

If the handler fails to make improvement or perform conversion in the time provided, the handler may be ordered to dispose of the substance or article within a limited period of time in compliance with waste clearance and disposal laws and regulations.
